Abstract

Kolam is a traditional floor decoration art in the southern part of India. Some patterns are classic and traditional. Two such patterns (or kolams) are Hridaya kolam (also known as Hridaya kamal/kamalam) and Aishwarya kolam. Both these patterns are investigated for their scalability in this work. The mathematical sequence embedded in the pattern of these kolams is discussed. Based on this, the traditional Hridaya kolam is scaled to higher versions. A novel Hridaya kolam pattern has also been proposed. Aishwarya kolam has been taken to the higher versions using the sub-patterns embedded in the design: (i) Damaru structure, (ii) equilateral triangle, and (iii) interleaved triangle, and we get four different kinds of Aishwarya kolams.
